As a lifelong word junkie, I can honestly say that I’ve never seen more debate, argument, and failure to reach an agreed upon definition of a word than we’re seeing over the word “DevOps.” And while it can be frustrating to find a definition that works for you, and not be swayed by the next essay or cute video that gives a new interpretation—for nerds like me, the ever-changing, wildly different beliefs of DevOps’ meaning, and even its origin are an absolute blast to pour over.<p><a href="http://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/3155778" target="_blank">read more</a></p>Mon, 29 Sep 2014 10:15:00 EDThttp://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/3155778http://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/3155778#feedbackCisco Ups "Codec War" Ante as WebRTC Summit Approacheshttp://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/2856670
“WebRTC and the Codec War” is the topic of just one session at the upcoming 1st WebRTC Summit, and technology giant Cisco has now given even more oomph to this huge emerging IT trend.
I'll be moderating the two-day Summit, which will be held November 6-7 during the 13th International Cloud Expo next week at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Silicon Valley.
The Codec War in particular got a recent boost with Cisco's major announcement that it will be open sourcing its H.264 codec for high-definition, online video, making the codec available as a free binary download. Mozilla announced that it will be supporting this move, by offering support for OpenH.264 to the Firefox browser.
WebRTC is interesting in that it strides the worlds of both telephony and enterprise IT. For Cisco, an obvious strategy relates to video conferencing. But for the global technology development and deployment community that increasingly lives in an HTML5 world, this WebRTC move by Cisco is of overall, general importance.
It's hardly the last chapter, with Google's V8 (and now V9) offering competition – thus, “the Codec War” – and Mozilla CTO Brendan Eich talking about not only leapfrogging H.264, but its planned successor H.265. But this announcement only adds to the intensity of what should be a great two days at Cloud Expo and the WebRTC Summit.<p><a href="http://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/2856670" target="_blank">read more</a></p>Wed, 30 Oct 2013 22:00:00 EDThttp://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/2856670http://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/2856670#feedbackCisco's New Collaboration Solutions To Support WebRTChttp://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/2845277

3CX's web conferencing server technology will be fully supporting the new WebRTC standard allowing participants to take part in conferences without having to install any client software at all. This innovative feature allows 3CX to leapfrog the existing proprietary, client-heavy web conferencing solutions. WebRTC, backed by Google and others is rapidly gaining ground and set to revolutionise the communication standards. "WebRTC is the ability to communicate live with somebody or something as if you were right there next to them. WebRTC fills a critical gap in the web platform as you can communicate in real-time just by loading a web page," said Justin Uberti, Tech Lead on WebRTC, Google. "WebRTC is a new front in the long war for an open and unencumbered web", said Brendan Eich, Mozilla CTO. We are in an advanced stage on the development of this technology and an announcement will be forthcoming. <p><a href="http://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/2835291" target="_blank">read more</a></p>Fri, 18 Oct 2013 12:00:00 EDThttp://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/2835291http://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/2835291#feedbackWebRTC Summit at Cloud Expo Agenda Announcedhttp://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/2787966
Unless you have been sleeping under a rock, you are probably aware that in May 2011 Google open-sourced the key audio/video components for web browsers, paving the way for the development of rich, high quality, RTC applications in the browser via simple Javascript APIs and HTML5. This in turn gave rise to the WebRTC project, a cross-industry project to bring Real-Time Communication to the Open Web platform. WebRTC - Web-based Real-Time Communication - is being heralded as one of most disruptive web/telecoms innovations for years, which is why SYS-CON Events, true to its 13-year tradition of producing events on the technologies of tomorrow, is holding its 1st WebRTC Summit in California's Silicon Valley in November.<p><a href="http://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/2787966" target="_blank">read more</a></p>Fri, 11 Oct 2013 10:30:00 EDThttp://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/2787966http://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/2787966#feedbackWeb-Enabling Asterisk Opens Asterisk to a New World of Developershttp://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/2827242

For the uninitiated, WebRTC is short for “real-time communications,” WebRTC is an open source web API which enables web browsers to support videoconferences without the need for a plug-in. Users simply click on a link, such as in an email invite or instant message, to launch a video call or to join a videoconference. This eliminates the configuration and troubleshooting difficulties which can accompany a traditional videoconferencing installations.<p><a href="http://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/2816546" target="_blank">read more</a></p>Tue, 01 Oct 2013 22:00:00 EDThttp://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/2816546http://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/2816546#feedbackWebRTC Summit Extends Cloud Expo Innovationhttp://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/2801740

In 2010, Samsung builds on its tradition of innovative design by introducing narrower bezels and brushed metal frames in silver and black– pushing the limits beyond the familiar black bezels of many HDTV’s. In particular, Samsung developed a groundbreaking four-legged quad stand that makes the TV look more like furniture than device and a new “mystic earth” Touch of Color™ (ToC™) design scheme with chrome edging to better match a living room’s décor. With a wide-ranging pallet of materials and designs, Samsung offers something for virtually anyone’s tastes and interior design preferences. What’s more, the new LED TVs match Samsung’s 2010 line of Blu-ray players and home theater systems bringing a cohesive element to a home entertainment room.<p><a href="http://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/1238257" target="_blank">read more</a></p>Wed, 06 Jan 2010 17:03:00 ESThttp://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/1238257http://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/1238257#feedbackDailymotion Announces Broadband TV Advertising Formatshttp://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/1236531

<img src="http://mediatile.com/sites/default/files/humankiosk_portrait.jpg" border="0" hspace="5" width="185" height="362" align="left" /><p>The hyperbole about this is about as over-torqued as could be imagined, but overlooking that a prototype being shown off this week at CES by <a href="http://mediatile.com" target="_blank">MediaTile</a> and Alcatel/Lucent is nonetheless interesting.</p><p>The companies have partnered to demo an interactive station that lets shoppers talk through remote video conference with product experts who, presumably, work for the vendor.</p><p><em>The HumanKiosk utilizes 4G/LTE technology to deliver a live, 2-way in-store video session between a consumer with a product question, and a representative of that product or service. For example, a customer seeking information about a new product can simply tap the touch screen to establish a live visual and audio connection with a product expert who is located virtually anywhere around the globe. Setting up the fully integrated solution requires nothing more than accessing a standard power outlet. It can be easily deployed into any retail, service or other locations that consumers regularly visit. With 4G/LTE technology, no on-site networking infrastructure or IT services for deployment or management are required to set up and use the solution, making it ideal for organizations to deploy virtually anywhere. </em></p><p>When there is no chatting going on, the panel can play full screen ads.</p><p>HP was demo'ing essentially the same concept at the Digital Signage Show in New York a couple of months ago, and a Toronto-area company, BTVPlus, had something like this (called <a href="http://www.btvplus.com/index.php?ask_clive" target="_blank">Ask Clive</a>) at least three years ago that they showed off at the Digital Signage Expo in Chicago. There are others around, as well. It took me about 45 seconds of Google time to find concepts dating back to 1995 and current proiducts by companies like this <a href="http://www.retailintegrity.com/virtualkiosk.html" target="_blank">one</a>.</p><p>So this is no breakthrough, and this is no game-changer, as the <a href="http://mediatile.com/news/Interactive-4G-Breakthrough-Demonstrated-at-CES" target="_blank">release</a> asserts.</p><p>But, the design notion of something that can just be rolled into place in a store, plugged in and be ready to go has its attraction for things like new product launches. It beats the crap out of a screen hanging from the ceiling like a basketball backboard. It would be a LOT more interesting if it was designed in such a way that it could be merchandised, so there was a direct correlation between the product for sale and the interactive screen.</p><p>Setting that aside, and the overheated hoo-hah about using 4G (this year's emerging buzzword), the open question about this sort of application in retail is whether it will get used, and by whom. There are many, many times when the sales associate on the retail floor has not a clue about the product I am interested in, but do I want to stand in front of a screen in a busy shop, holler at it and strain to hear what the expert is telling me (remember, these are intended for big, busy stores, not libraries)? </p><p>Not convinced. </p><p>The whole 3G and 4G thing may actually work against these sorts of applications because of the now millions and millions (and more to come, with Google's Nexus phone released) of people walking around with high-speed pseudo-PCs in their pockets and purses. You can look at a product and decide: "Do I want to talk to an "expert" who will be trained in trying to close my sale, or do I want to whip out my high-speed mobile smartphone and do my own, independent research based on the piles of independent opinions available online?"</p><p>Retailers may not be all that happy about it, but real time product research, right on the shop floor, is here to stay. </p><p><a href="http://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/1236622" target="_blank">read more</a></p>Tue, 05 Jan 2010 13:45:00 ESThttp://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/1236622http://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/1236622#feedbackDigital Entertainment Content Ecosystem (DECE) Announces Key Milestoneshttp://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/1234819

As the first decade of the millennium comes to a close, Vidyo believes that change is on the horizon in the videoconferencing market as we enter 2010. Vidyo’s predictions for the coming year: 2010 will be the first year when corporate funded, large-scale desktop solutions will be the largest market growth segment in video conferencing. Unified Communications and social media platforms will include a videoconferencing function, and by the end of the year, no market leader offering will be available without video. <p><a href="http://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/1232638" target="_blank">read more</a></p>Wed, 30 Dec 2009 23:30:00 ESThttp://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/1232638http://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/1232638#feedbackScalable Video Coding (SVC) to Impact Global Videoconferencing Markethttp://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/1230136

Wainhouse Research has released its latest study, "H.264 SVC: A
Technical Assessment," an independent view of the Scalable Video Coding
(SVC) standard, ratified in late 2007 whose benefits are gaining
recognition and acceptance in multiple segments of the videoconferencing
and unified communications markets. The report contrasts H.264 SVC with
the preceding H.264 (AVC) Baseline Profile used for many years in
traditional videoconferencing systems. Conclusions were based on
side-by-side comparisons of a variety of videoconferencing devices and
analysis of architecture and coding aspects.
